Poland Calls for Bigger NATO Presence

Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk called Tuesday for a bigger presence of NATO forces in the country in order to strengthen the alliance’s eastern border amid tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

Poland hosts only a small detachment of U.S. airmen at a military airport in Lask, which hosts training missions of F-16 fighter jets. During the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, NATO deployed its reconnaissance airplane Awacs to monitor developments in Ukraine and the U.S. increased a rotation of the F-16 jets training in Poland.
